There you go. Edik Baghdasarian went on TV tonight and said that the residents of Yerevan should call for the Mayor's resignation and miraculously, an hour later this story reports that the green area was saved. I assume the two are connected. Now, time to get rid of all the other illegal cafes.
 
PRESIDENTIAL SUPERVISORY SERVICE SAVES GREEN AREA IN YEREVAN
Yerevan, JULY 15. ARMINFO.
 
A green zone in front of building 28, Isahakyan street in Yerevan was saved after intervention of the Presidential Supervisory Service.
 
Journalists signals to various instances did not produce any results before.It was not until the journalists applied to Presidential Spokesman Ashot Kocharian that the President was informed of the fact. The construction in the land-plot has been suspended, and planting of trees and bushes has even begun. Talking to ARMINFO, Edmon Zakharyan, Press Secretary of the Yerevan Mayor, "credited" the salvation of the green zone in the center of Yerevan to his boss Yervand Zakharyan. He stressed that this is a testimony to the Mayor's determination to battle illegal construction and destruction of green zones.
 
We would remind you that a 5-meter-deep pit was to be dug in the plot ofland with an area of 500sq. meters for the construction of an entertainment club. According to yet unconfirmed information, the construction was sponsored by RA Minister of Territorial Administration and Coordination of Infrastructures Hovik Abramyan. This is the first example of a favorable outcome of a conflict over green areas between the public and high-ranking officials.
